Well it's official.]I am getting old.I left my car unlocked and some son of a bitch stole the K-Bar from under my seat.I guess I should be thankful I did not leave a pistol in the car.Anyway I now need to replace my K-Bar.I have lots of other knives but I need another K-Bar.I would like to get one that has a leather washer handle and is not stamped with a particular branch of the military.I am not adverse to a high tech steel if the price is right.

If none of you has an extra one you would be willing to sell or trade, I am looking for suggestions.

I am truly sorry about your loss Bob.Having been the victim of more than one blade theft I can certainly empathize.If I had more than one Ka-Bar, I send it to you, (right along with those boxes of 300Win Mag, d'oh!!)But sadly I have only one, and it's more of a keepsake than a user.

Much like a 1911, I think no collection is complete without one.If anyone has a spare 1911 lying around, my collection is incomplete BTW

I hope you find the person who ripped you off, but be comforted to know that there is a special place reserved in hell for thieves. And Karma is a bitch!

That sucks brother.My K-Bar was stolen from my car when I first moved back to CA. I reported it, filled out the forms, and had a visit from 2 cops the next day. They wanted to know why something like that was in my car in the first place and threatened to charge me. I made them leave the front porch while shooting them the double bird......

Mr KThe Becker is a solid looking knife.I don't really need another knife, you got it right though it's part of a collection.I will find one somewhere possibly at a gun show or I will break down and just order one.It's hard to find one now that has a leather sheath and is not stamped with some branch of the military.From what I could see they even stamp that on the tang now.I don't want serrated or tanto point and I don't want to pay the price of a nice pistol for it.

UDWhat you are saying hold true to the fact we are no longer free.

From what Red tells me double edged knives are forbidden in MA.I guess that extra edge makes them the assault rifles of knives.Too deadly for civilians.

Carrying one here is a felony. No double edged blades, no auto knives with a blade longer than 1.5 inches, no carrying a blade longer than 4 inches (but I do carry a 5.5 inch blade when camping/hiking/backpacking and have never been questioned). No push/punch knives or neck knives either.....

My Ka-bar that my brother gave to me after boot camp and I later took to Afghanistan was stolen in a similar manner. Sorry to hear about your loss. I need to get a new one come to think of it. Hadn't thought of it since I got my SRK.

He who wears the cloth, will always wear the cloth, and those that wear the cloth will always have a brother in me.
